For his band member, David Crosby, Neil Young is the most self-centered, self-obsessed, egotistical person he knew.
He said in an interview with Guardian, “We haven’t communicated in a few years. I am also not going to talk to him. I don’t want to speak with him. I am completely dissatisfied with him. That’s all old news to me, man”.
Young suffered from polio in 1952 during the last major outbreak of the disease in Ontario. After his recovery, the Young family vacationed in Florida.

He also suffered from epileptic seizures which began in 1966, shortly after he moved to Los Angeles. These were most likely temporal lobe with secondarily generalized seizures. They were poorly controlled for many years, explaining his erratic behavior when he would occasionally get up and leave in the middle of a performance.
Neil s regarded as one of the best songwriters and performers of all time in rock & roll.
Most of his songs are popular among the world’s young people. Even though he encountered a lot of issues in his personal life, he never stopped enjoying and producing music.
